Welcome friends!๐ What's more important to you: Discipline or Motivation?
Today we'll talk about it.๐
There are two main ways to force yourself to do something:
โก the first, most popular, is try to motivate yourself; โก the second, less popular, is to develop self - discipline.
What's the difference?๐ง
Motivation is based on the erroneous assumption, that a specific mental or emotional state is needed to complete a task.
Discipline separates activity from moods and feelings and thus bypasses the problem. The consequences are staggering.
Simply put, you don't have to wait until you'll in Olympic form to start training. No, you train to achieve this form!!!!
Why discipline is more important than motivation ? IMHO๐ง
Chasing motivation means, that we need to do only what we're in the mood for.
The trick is to cut the connection between feelings and actions, to do right thing anyway. You will feel good and energetic afterwards.
To achieve success with only motivation is the wrong way. You risk losing your enthusiasm very quickly.
Since real life in the real world sometimes requires people to do things that can't always be done only with enthusiasm, sometimes willpower is needed.
Motivation has a tiny shelf life and needs to be constantly updated.
Motivation is not the best foundation for your normal daily activities, and it is unlikely to help you achieve long-term results.
Discipline is a motor, that once started and constantly supplies energy to You.
For consistent, long-term results, discipline trumps motivation. Discipline is when you do something even when you're not in your best condition.
Discipline is more or less permanent, and motivation is fleeting.
How to develop discipline? ๐ง
You need to acquiring habits - starting with small, even micro ones, gaining momentum, using them to make further changes in daily life.
THE MAIN ADVICE TO YOU: Even if it's difficult for you - fight!๐ฅ The hardest fight is the fight with yourself! But the victory would be so sweet๐ช๐ป
